The Savage B Mag Target is a bolt-action .17 WSM rifle built around a 22-inch heavy barrel, stainless steel receiver, and a laminate thumbhole stock. The heavy barrel stays cooler during sustained fire and helps maintain shot consistency. The AccuTrigger is user-adjustable for pull weight, which is useful for the precision work this rifle is aimed at.

Features 

 
The AccuTrigger adjusts without tools and allows a lighter, crisper pull than a fixed factory trigger. The thumbhole stock positions the hand naturally for consistent hold and reduces fatigue during longer sessions. The stainless steel barrel and receiver resist corrosion without needing much maintenance. The 8-round detachable rotary magazine is reliable with the .17 WSM's rimmed case design. 
 

Usage 

• Varmint Hunting: .17 WSM has higher velocity and better wind resistance than .17 HMR, well suited for prairie dogs, ground squirrels, and similar small game at distance. 
• Target Shooting: The heavy barrel, adjustable trigger, and thumbhole stock make it a natural fit for bench rest and precision rimfire work.

The Savage Precision B Mag in .17 WSM gets strong marks for accuracy and build quality, with some recurring complaints about feeding reliability and trigger feel.

Owners consistently report good to excellent accuracy out of the box. The .17 WSM's high velocity and flat trajectory are appreciated by varmint hunters and precision shooters alike. The smooth bolt and stainless finish are well regarded, and the thumbhole stock earns positive mentions for comfort and steadiness.

The most common criticism is feeding issues, particularly when certain ammunition brands are used. The .17 WSM's rimmed case can be finicky in some magazines and at certain tempos of fire. A number of owners also find the trigger pull heavier than they expected given the AccuTrigger's reputation, and have adjusted or replaced it. Ammunition availability is a secondary concern since .17 WSM is less common than .17 HMR.

For shooters who want .17 WSM's ballistic advantage over HMR and are willing to test ammunition to find what feeds reliably, the B Mag Target is a capable platform.
